What are you preparing for dinner tonight?

Sorry to hear about the tumble and the fracture. What a frustrating thing.

Ben came back with me from the hospital, so cooked Chinese style chicken, veg and noodles. Easier to do it for two.

BBQ’d chicken, grains, hummus and salad. Last of the leftovers, so a new cycle will start tomorrow.

Oh dear, the indignity

Hopefully this will all be behind you soon, you will be moved in, you can paint and you can listen to music

Best wishes

Looking forward to my slow cooked “summer skirt stew”
A long family tradition recipe of beef skirt with vegetables and a glimpse of greens.

Seared yellow fin tuna steak which was coated in olive oil, crushed garlic, chopped fresh chilli, lemon juice, salt & pepper. In a hot pan, no more than 2 mins per side. If you do 3 mins each side, it will be cooked all the way through. Before cooking, there should be absolutely no fish smell from the tuna.

Jersey New Royal baby potatoes coated in olive oil, salt & pepper and fresh rosemary from the garden. Roasted at a very high temp. Crime to use Jersey New Royals, but it’s the peak season and I can’t eat boiled ones every day.


Tomatoes coated with sauvignon blanc vinegar, olive oil, fresh oregano and fresh basil both from the garden, Maldon salt & pepper.

It has to be fresh ‘common’ oregano and not the potent spicy Greek one. This, the fresh basil and rosemary made the meal special.

Corn on the cob too.

A little bit of home made tartare sauce and horseradish sauce on the side.

This was to have been Christmas dinner, but in the end I opted for free range pork with some lovely cider and apple liqueurs oh and maybe some Somerset Cider Brandy

And for drinks

If you are wondering about the can of wine, it is for the gravy
